Fun Stuff Happening At the Office

Let’s take a (spooky) walk!

November 6th, 2013

On November 8 (Friday), take the Corvallis Haunted Walking Tour!
We are excited to get a group together for this fun and historic tour!

The cost is $18, but if we have a group of at least 10 people, they will knock $3.00 off each of our tickets.

The tour starts at 7:00 p.m., so for those interested: we could go to dinner beforehand and then go together to the tour meeting place (Francesco’s Gelato). So far we have a group of four attending, and would love to have you join us!

Please RSVP to Melissa Whitney by Monday, November 4! The website is SpiritExpeditions.com. From there you can mouse over “Walking Tours” and then click on the “Corvallis Haunted History Tour.”

ORIGINAL POST:
Melissa and crew were thinking of rounding up a group for this on Friday night, October 4th (and I’m only just not posting about it. sorry). But it didn’t come together. Looks like they’re only hosting tours Monday through Thursday for a while?

If you’re interested, please contact Melissa (or comment on this blog).

For more info: The website is SpiritExpeditions.com. From there you can mouse over “Walking Tours” and then click on the “Corvallis Haunted History Tour.”
A tour holds up to 20 people. It costs $18 for adults, or $12 for kids 12 and under. (maybe these are the in person prices? their booking website notes $20 for adults).

anywho. HALLOWEEN! fun.
If you have any other suggestions for local Halloween activities (notable haunted houses? other events?), please post below.

Getting Started…

August 7th, 2013

Sarah, Amy, Warren, Celina, Elizabeth and Melissa met a couple hours ago to shape and form this group. committee? gang? theoretical conceptual model? club? CULT?!!?

We all agreed that Social Affairs Committee wasn’t going to work as a name. It implies illicit affairs, and rigid bureaucratic committee rules. “Fun Club” was batted around a bit (the first rule of Fun Club is that you should totally talk about fun club), before we settled on “Fun Stuff Here At the Office. or FSHAO for short. pronounced “feh-shah’Ow”. Which will also likely be our twitter hashtag. when we all decide it’s worth signing up for twitter. either #fshao or #fsh@o, it is not yet clear.

It was clearly decided that some organizers in this group will not be using the word “tweet” to describe what they’re doing, at any point in the near or distant future.

It was decided that a web page might be useful, which is what you are reading right now. (META!)

A lot of other stuff was decided, which is too awesome to even type up here in the first blog post. We ran out of time, and decided to meet again on the second wednesday of each month, at 10am, until we didn’t need to meet that often anymore.

If you’d like to jump in and help us organize, just drop any one of us a line.
